Coolant question

Tried searching this, but its such a generic search that I gave up after 5 min...

Why is G12 spec'ed for this motor? What's the impact of running something else, for example, a prestone long life coolant?

Big surprises await when blending these coolants unless you can be 100% certain the VAG product has been purged.

The VAG product has a very long life. You'll end up spending more using the cheap stuff.
